Personal Information:
Hi! My name is Shelly. I am 44 years old, I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who happens to be "my best friend" & 2 beautiful daughters. As years have past I've spent my time concentrating on my girls as they were growing up along w/my husbands needs. Then one day I had that "AH-HA" moment & realized I need to concentrate on my needs first. It's time to be comfortable again in my own skin & feel good about "being me" again. I want to be proud of who I am on the inside & the outside :)

Hi Shelly! Thanks for adding me as a friend, I've added you as well. when my kids where little I didn't have a problem with my weight. Then we/I started home schooling them and the weight started creeping up. Then I got sick with Mono, and between the steroids and exhaustion the weight just creeped up higher... to 175! and only being 5 foot 3 .... yeah way to much jiggly stuff! So now I'm here and the jiggly stuff is going away! Yeah! Looking forward to getting to know you on this journey! Becky

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!! Thank you for the add! I have added you as well :)) I am so happy that I can be an inspiration to you! I am still very much a work in progess! I like to call it the never ending story and goal! Anything I can do to help.. just give a YELL! I'm sorry it took me so long to post.. work was crazy this week and I restarted my marathon training.. I am battling the tendonitis in my foot and returning to physical therapy to make sure that I don't screw anything else up! LOL!! Again.... welcome and just shout out! I am more than happy to answer questions or try to find an answer if I don't have it!

People disappear for all sorts of reasons. Life gets in the way, we forget or change our views on what we deem is important, we get buried under stress, frustration, illness. We sometimes give up, throw in the towel, or just promise ourselves that once things get better/easier/calmer, we will hitch up our socks and come back fresh. We've all done it. We've all been there. And if perhaps, you just need a supportive hug, or a helping hand or a word of inspiration, please know that I am offering it to you with no judgment, no guilt. It seems like it's been a while since you've been here and I just wanted to let you know that you are missed.
